Kings' Kristian Epperson: Goal, assist in win Saturday
Rotowire
Epperson scored a goal and added an assist in the University of Denver's 3-2 win over the University of North Dakota on Saturday.
Epperson is up to seven goals and 12 points over 25 appearances in his first collegiate season. He had 80 points in 58 regular-season outings with OHL Saginaw last year, but he's struggled to adapt to the NCAA despite playing for a strong team. The Kings prospect still has plenty of time to develop, and the 19-year-old will likely use up most or all of his NCAA eligibility.

Kings' Kristian Epperson: Pots pair in Denver's big win
Rotowire
Epperson scored twice on seven shots in the University of Denver's 6-0 win over the University of Alaska-Anchorage on Saturday.
Epperson now has three goals and one assist through the first eight games of the season for the Pioneers. His scoring touch with OHL Saginaw (27 goals, 80 points) in the 2024-25 regular season hasn't followed him to college yet, though it's important to remember he was playing with Michael Misa with the Spirit last year. Epperson is a Kings prospect, having been selected in the third round in 2025. He will need to show more offense of his own creation if he is to carve out a lengthy pro career after his college days are done.
